Russ Quackenbush for CDW

Posted by Workbook on 03/25/2011 — Filed under:  FeaturesHeadlineNew TalentPhotography
Russ Quackenbush felt confident that the first phase of the CDW shoot had gone well. It was a big job, shot in two phases with 30 ads in all, plus an image library. So when a simple handwritten thank you note arrived from Bruce Delahorne, the client on the project, Russ was shocked. He distributed copies of it to his crew and the agency team from Ogilvy & Mather in order to acknowledge all their hard work and successful collaboration. But when the second phase of the job was complete and another handwritten note from Bruce arrived, expressing that Russ and his team had now outdone themselves, he came to a sudden realization: small things have the power to make an enormous difference. He blogs about it here: http://russquackenbush.posterous.com/
